  • Publication number: 20240050969
    Abstract: One purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a fluid discharging system which is capable of stably supplying fluid to a discharging device while suppressing an increase in an installation space and cost. A fluid discharging system 10 includes a discharging device 30 configured to discharge fluid, a pump 20 configured to supply the fluid stored in a reservoir 22 to the discharging device 30, a supply line 40 connecting the discharging device 30 with the pump 20 to allow the fluid to pass therethrough, and a buffer tank 50, disposed at an intermediate location of the supply line 40, and configured to suck and discharge the fluid. The fluid discharging system 10 is capable of continuing supply of the fluid to the discharging device 30 by discharging the fluid from the buffer tank 50 to the supply line 40, while limiting the supply of the fluid from the pump 20 to the discharging device 30.

  • Patent number: 11110482
    Abstract: The purpose is to provide a discharge system which can minimize wear of a connecting part of a discharging device and a refilling device which is caused under the influence of particulate matters contained in fluid even if connection and disconnection for refilling the discharging device with the fluid is repeated. A discharge system includes a discharging device capable of discharging the fluid, and a refilling device capable of refilling the discharging device with the fluid. The fluid is suppliable from the refilling device side to the discharging device side by inserting one of a discharge-side coupler provided to the discharging device side and a refill-side coupler provided to the refilling device side into the other to connect the discharging device to the refilling device. A clearance size d formed between the discharge-side coupler and the refill-side coupler is determined based on the particle size distribution of the particulate matters that constitutes the fluid.

  • Patent number: 10364813
    Abstract: The present invention comprises: a stator 2 that is cylindrical and has a through hole 10, the through hole 10 in the shape of a female screw and being formed at a certain pitch in the flow direction from an inlet to an outlet; and a rotor 3 that is formed in the shape of a male screw, is inserted into the through hole 10 of the stator 2 to form a transport space 11 with the inner circumferential surface of the through hole, and rotates to move a fluid from the inlet to the outlet through the transport space 11 while being inscribed on the inner circumferential surface. The volume of the transport space 11 is reduced toward the flow direction. This prevents, reliably, the occurrence of bubbles from a fluid at a downstream-side when the fluid is transported through the transport space 11 formed between the stator 2 and the rotor 3.
